Eligible: lease-holders of fish ponds of 0.4 ha or more, owners of private ponds, and people of the fishing community engaged in fishing with boating, who do not already have a boat and have not got a boat under any other scheme (para 2(5)3–5). The 12 fishing communities named in the Revenue Code 2016 get priority, first Antyodaya card holders, then those without a pucca house (para 2(5)7). The scheme runs for five years, 2022-23 to 2026-27 (para 3).

For traditional fishing communities (Kewat, Mallah, Nishad, Bind, Dhimar, Kashyap and others named in para 1.2) or anyone who has earned a living from fish farming for a year or more, living in UP. Not for those who already got a moped/ice-box type subsidy, e.g. under the Nishadraj boat scheme or PMMSY fish marketing (para 1.1, 1.4). You must keep using it for fish work for at least 5 years or the money is recovered (para 1.5(3)).

General category 50% of the unit cost; women, SC and ST 60%. Fish farming needs land and a water source, or you must already be farming fish.

“पर्वतीय क्षेत्रों में कलस्टर आधारित मत्स्य पालन (तालाब निर्माण) — 1 हजार प्रति धन मी0 — रू0 500 प्रति धन मी0 — रू0 600 प्रति धन मी0 — अधिकतम 500 धन मी0 व्यक्तिगत एवं 1000 धन मी0 समिति/समूह आदि”

The speech gives only the maximum; it does not say whether this is a share of the cost. We show it as a ceiling, not a promised amount.

“To augment Inland fish production in Union Territory of Puducherry, it is proposed to provide a maximum of ₹ 50,000 per acre for the fishermen who are fish farming for over 5 years, to renovate the fishing ponds.”

Cost above the unit cost is yours (para 5(I)(vii)). Seed producers must sell the advanced seed at ₹200/kg (about 25 g fish) or ₹250/kg (about 50 g) (para 5(I)(ix)). Extremely Backward Classes (अति पिछड़ी जाति) also get 70% (para 5) — the calculator has no EBC option, so pick SC/ST or read the 70% yourself.

“योजना में उन्नत बीज उत्पादन हेतु ₹ 1.00 लाख (एक लाख रूपये)/0.5 एकड़ (प्रति इकाई) की दर से आवर्ती व्यय आंकलित की गयी है … एक व्यक्ति/परिवार को अधिकतम एक एकड़ जलक्षेत्र तक के तालाब में मत्स्य बीज उत्पादन के लिए सब्सिडी देय होगा।”

One tube well and one pump set for a pond of 0.25 to 2.5 acres; up to two of each for 2.5 to 5 acres; a fishermen's cooperative can get up to five (para 5(II)(vii)–(viii)). If the pond already has a boring pump set you cannot get it again, but you can still get the missing item (para 5(II)(v)). Extremely Backward Classes (अति पिछड़ी जाति) also get 70% (para 5) — the calculator has no EBC option, so pick SC/ST or read the 70% yourself.

“प्रति ट्यूबवेल तथा पम्पसेट (समरसेबुल सहित) का इकाई लागत क्रमशः ₹ 80000 (अस्सी हजार) रुपये एवं ₹ 40000 (चालीस हजार) रुपये इकाई लागत निर्धारित है।”

The order allows two aerators per acre; the calculator counts at most two (one acre) so it never overstates — a bigger pond can get more. Buy from an agency empanelled by NFDB or the Bihar department; power or a standby generator is needed. Ponds helped in earlier years are not eligible again (para 5(III)(v)–(viii)). Extremely Backward Classes (अति पिछड़ी जाति) also get 70% (para 5) — the calculator has no EBC option, so pick SC/ST or read the 70% yourself.

“"यांत्रिक एरेटर" (पैडल व्हील) का इकाई लागत ₹ 50000 (पचास हजार रुपये) (अधिकतम अधिष्ठापन व्यय सहित) निर्धारित है … योजना के तहत एक लाभुक/परिवार को अधिकतम दो एरेटर/एकड़ की अनुमान्यता होगी।”

Only for sea-going fishermen families, from the financial year 2025-26 (para 4). Eligibility is as amended by G.O.Rt.No.139 of 22.04.2025: all sea-going boats are eligible whether or not they drew HSD oil subsidy; the family must not be covered by the NTR Bharosa (fishermen) pension; income limits follow the government’s six-step validation.

“Government after careful examination, hereby order to enhance the marine fishing ban relief from Rs.10,000/- to Rs.20,000/- per family to all the eligible fishermen who are operating Mechanized, Motorized and Non-Motorized fishing crafts during the Marine Ban period/Lean period from 15th April to 14th June”

Only for families engaged in traditional fishing. The speech does not say whether it is paid in one or more instalments; we show one.

“The State Government has been providing lean-period fishing assistance of Rs.6,000 per family to fishermen engaged in traditional fishing activity. This Government will now increase this assistance from Rs.6,000 to Rs.7,000 per family, benefiting 1.93 lakh traditional fishermen families”

The ₹8,000 already includes the Centre’s ₹1,500 PMMSY share — it is not paid on top of it. The Policy Note does not say how many instalments; we show one.

“To support fishing families during this mandatory closure, the Government provides Rs.8,000/- as Ban Period Relief Assistance, of which Rs.1,500/- is contributed by the Government of India under Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY). For beneficiaries above 60 years of age, the entire assistance is borne by the Government of Tamil Nadu.”

The amount shown is the State’s share only; your own ₹1,500 comes back to you as part of the ₹4,500. The same pattern applies to fisherwomen (6.1.4).

“Under the scheme, each beneficiary contributes Rs.1,500/- which, along with the assistance of Rs.3,000/- from the State Government provides a relief of Rs.4,500/- during these challenging periods.”

“To reduce operational costs of fishing vessels, the Government supplies sales tax-exempted diesel at the rate of 19,000 litres per mechanised fishing boat and 4,400 litres per motorised country craft annually.”

₹25 is the price you pay, not a subsidy amount. Only Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts.

“Registered motorised traditional fishing crafts in Thoothukudi, Tirunelveli and Kanniyakumari districts are supplied with industrial kerosene at a subsidised rate of Rs.25 per litre, subject to an annual entitlement of 3,700 litres per craft.”

The order recites that the earlier concession (G.O.Rt.No.92 of 2022) covers farms up to Ac.10.00 in notified aquaculture zones (para 5); para 7 extends ₹1.50 to newly declared zones and to all APSADA/CAA-registered farms from 1 June 2026. The 2019 order it recites put the subsidy at Rs.2.36 per unit at that time (para 3).

“Government hereby order for extension of concessional power tariff @Rs.1.50 per unit to the following categories of aquaculture farms with effect from 1.6.2026 subject to condition that the power factor of 0.9 to 0.95 shall be achieved by the beneficiary before March 2027. Else they will not be eligible for subsidy: 1. All eligible aquaculture farms located in newly declared Aqua Zones notified under re-survey as per Government orders and 2. All aquaculture farms registered under the APSADA Act and CAA Act up to date, estimated at about 6,500 farms, and all other eligible aquaculture farms that obtain APSADA/CAA registration in future, from the date of such registration.”

Only for owners of registered mechanised fishing boats (trawlers).

“Otter Boards (fishing device) with a unit cost of 70,000 will be provided to owners of registered mechanized fishing boats (Trawlers) at 50% subsidized rate.”

“Further, Portable fish holding box (Ice Box) with a unit cost of 7,500 will be supplied at free of cost.”

“For procurement of Drag net 12,000 per unit will be provided on 50% subsidy rate to 100 fish farmers who have registered in Fish Farmers Development Agency ( FFDA ).”

“Fish farmers will be provided 20% subsidy to procure Deep Sea Fishing Vessel.”

Enter the cage volume in cubic metres. The 18-cage limit also applies; if your 18 cages hold less than 1,800 m³, count only their volume. The preamble (p.2) aims the help at cage units set up with PMMSY assistance. Available again two years after the last help (condition 2).

Condition 1 of the original GR lets societies, federations and F.F.P.O.s apply; condition 10 sets the 7,200 m³ / 72-cage ceiling for institutional applicants.

“આંતરદેશીય મત્સ્યોદ્યોગ કેજમાં વપરાતી જાળ ઉપર યુનિટ કોસ્ટ રૂ.૩૦૦/- પ્રતિ કયુબીક મી.ના ૫૦% સહાય અથવા ખરેખર થયેલ ખર્ચ પૈકી જે ઓછું હશે તે સહાય મળવાપાત્ર રહેશે. જયારે સંસ્થાકીય અરજદાર જેવા કે મત્સ્યોધોગ મંડળીઓ અને મત્સ્યોધોગ સહકારી સંઘ માટે ૭૨૦૦ ઘનમીટર ઘનફળ ધરાવતા અથવા ૭૨ યુનિટ ફીશકેજ બે માંથી જે ઓછું હોય તેની મર્યાદામાં ચુકવવાનુ રહેશે.”

For these groups the GR prints “50% of the unit cost” without the “or actual cost, whichever is less” words used for individuals; we still count the lower of your cost and ₹2,00,000 so the figure is never overstated.

“સહાય માટે SC/ST/women માટે યુનિટ કોસ્ટના ૬૦% અને General કેટેગરી માટે યુનિટ કોસ્ટના ૪૦% અથવા SC/ST/women માટે કરેલ ખર્ચના ૬૦% અને General કેટેગરી માટે કરેલ ખર્ચના ૪૦% બન્નેમાંથી જે ઓછુ હોય તે તથા મત્સ્યોધોગ સહકારી મંડળી/FFPO/સ્વસહાય જુથને યુનિટ કોસ્ટના ૫૦% મળવાપાત્ર રહેશે.”

Only for registered OBM boats 5 years old or more (condition 6), except boats fully destroyed in a disaster from 2020-21 (conditions 13, 16). Help covers boat building only, not the engine (condition 2). The new boat may not be sold for 5 years (condition 10). Those who got Tauktae-package help for the same boat are excluded (condition 16). Gujarat residents only (condition 20).

The table prints the unit cost (₹30, 35, 40, 45 lakh) and the maximum help, which is half of it; the original GR of 22 May 2025 pays 50% of the actual cost or the maximum, whichever is less (condition 4, p.2). Only for IBM wooden boats at least 10 years old, owned before the scheme began; OBM boats are not eligible (conditions 7–8). Help covers only the hull and cold room, not the engine (condition 20). Once in a lifetime (condition 5). The boat may not be sold or mortgaged for 7 years (condition 21). Those who got PMMSY or Blue Revolution deep-sea vessel help are excluded (condition 12).

Priority order SC, ST, women, disabled, others; the pond must hold water for at least 8–10 months; not for anyone who took fish-farming help under another scheme (निकष 1–4). The printed subsidy column rounds to the nearest rupee (e.g. ₹9,655); we floor, so a figure can be ₹1 lower. Cost basis: Assistant Commissioner of Fisheries letter of 12/08/2025.

Water spread 0.10 to 5.00 ha with at least 5 ft depth (para 3(V)); subsidy is proportionate to the water area actually dug (para 6A(xx)). Transgender and PwD applicants also get 50%. A farmer who got pond subsidy before for under 5 ha can claim the balance area.

“The unit cost towards new tank excavation and various inputs for taking up pisciculture activities in tanks are Rs.7.00 Lakh/ha & Rs.4.00 lakh/Ha respectively under Component-l. … Subsidy @ 40 % shall be provided to the General category and @ 50% to SC/ ST/ Women/ PWD/ Transgender categories of beneficiaries”

“The unit cost towards input assistance for intensive pisciculture in existing tanks with low productivity is Rs.4.00 lakh/Ha under Component-ll.”

One-time support, limited to 1 acre of water area per beneficiary; the pond needs at least 5 ft of water for 5 months. Transgender and PwD farmers also get 60%. One benefit per family; none if a family member got this subsidy in the last two years (para 5(iv)).

“Input Assistance towards Pisciculture will be provided by F & ARD Department @ 40% for General and 60% for SC/ST/Women/Transgender/PWD category of farmers towards cost of seed, feed & others on the Unit cost of Rs 4.00 lakh /Ha shall be provided.”

“The unit cost of the scheme towards capital & inputs are Rs.0.75 Lakh/tank & Rs. 0.25 lakh/tank respectively. … Subsidy @ 50 % shall be provided to the General category and @ 60% to SC/ ST/ Women/ PWD/ Transgender categories of beneficiaries”

The 2026-27 speech (para 3.6.2) introduces a CM-ELEVATE scheme for fish ponds “with subsidies ranging from 50% to 75%” without saying who gets which rate, so we show the 50% printed for the Mission and never the higher figure. ₹30 crore was allocated to the Mission in 2025-26 (para 6.3).

“The Meghalaya State Aquaculture Mission 3.0 will be launched soon. The Mission will target production of 19,000 MT of fish and will benefit 50,000 fish farmers. Part of the Mission will be implemented under the banner of CM ELEVATE, with the same 50% subsidy structure as other livestock initiatives.”

The rate is from the department’s 2023-24 annual report, the latest published; the same budget head is funded in 2026-27. The report does not print a monthly quota for the industrial kerosene (separately, PDS kerosene is given at the PDS rate to boats with a permit — highlights 1.7).

“The Dept has introduced a scheme of supplying industrial kerosene to the motorized fishing boats. As industrial kerosene is available at Rs.86/- per liter, a rebate of Rs.35/- per liter is provided and rest will be borne by the fishermen.”

The department’s 2023-24 annual report confirms the kit runs with 100% financial assistance (highlight 1.12: 1,250 fishers, ₹125 lakh). Neither document lists the kit’s contents or who qualifies; ask the fisheries office.

“The rates of fisheries requisite kit provided for fishermen free of cost will be increased from Rs.10,000 to Rs. 20,000 to encourage fishing activities.”

The budget speech does not print the unit; Matsyafed’s scheme page prints the earlier rate as “a subsidy of Rs.25 per litre”, so the ₹75 is most likely per litre too. No implementing order for the ₹75 rate was found — check with Matsyafed before counting on it.

“The kerosene subsidy being provided to fishermen is enhanced to ₹75.”
